Ch.14 Scared pt.2

", we know you have concerns." Megen's doctor says calmly. "You're damn right I do!" Spencer exclaims. Megen lets out a shaky breath & he looks at her, concerned. "Megen is going to be in Dr. Warrens care as well as mine" the obstetrician says, motioning with her hand to the other female doctor. Spencer glances at the doctor; who smiles at him. He looks back at his wife lovingly & worriedly as Dr. Warren tells him what her specialty was & explains what she will be doing to help Megen have a healthy pregnancy. Spencer interrupts by saying "What can I do?" "Spence" Megen says in a tired tone, softly. "Babe, I'm sorry, but I really want to know." He tells her, causing her to sigh. "I told you he would be like this" she says looking at the two doctors then back to her husband. "Just listen for once. Please?" she tells him. He swallows, nodding silently.

"Megen will be closely monitored by the both of us & will come in several times a week, along with taking her pre-natal vitamins." Dr. Warren explains. "That means no caffeine, sugar, stress & lots of rest Megen" she tells pointedly. Megen nods silently. "Am I able to still work?" Megen asks, getting several sputters from Spencer. She smacks him in the chest with her hand as the doctor said "As long as you stay off your feet as much as possible & are not going to be under a lot of stress." "That won't be a problem" Megen says, giving Spencer a look as he tries to protest.

Megen suddenly puts a hand over her mouth & runs to the trash can, vomiting into it. Spencer makes a face & swallows as he tries not to vomit himself.

"Yes, she's done that several times while being here" Megen's doctor says, going over to Megen. "Morning sickness?" Spencer asks. "Ya think?" Megen snaps as she lifts her head from the trash can. Spencer is a bit stunned at this. "Um, I love you" he says nervously. Megen looks at him as her doctor gives her a cup of water. "You're so lucky I love you too" she says hoarsely then takes a drink. Moments later, Spencer sputters as Megen asks the doctors "Can we have sex?" Poor Spencer turns beet red with embarrassment. "It's a legit question, Spence" Megen says wryly. Spencer closes his eyes & shakes his head as Dr. Warren tells them that sex is to put on hold for awhile.

An hour later, as they were leaving the hospital, they got into a small tiff because Megen was going to go to work instead of going home; which Spencer thought was a good idea. "Don't start Spence. You heard what the doctor said; I can still work but stay off my feet. Which I can do since I work in the lab" Megen say firmly. "I'm just as worried as you are about this pregnancy, but you have got to trust me & trust the doctors, ok?" she says, touching his arm. Spencer sighs resignedly. "I do trust you babe. You know I do. This scares me, bad." he says, pulling her close; hugging her. Megen hugs him back. "This is really happening?" he asks, nuzzling her hair. Megen nods against his chest.

The moment is broken when his cell phone vibrates. Spencer reaches into his pockets with one hand & reads the screen after pulling it out. He gives her an apologetic look as he puts it back in his pocket. "You have a case?" she asks. Spencer nods & kisses her softly. "I'll see you when I see you. Please get some rest, ok?" he says. Megen smiles at him. "I will, I promise & I love you" she says. "I love you too" he replies then hurries off after giving her a quick squeeze.

For the next month,

Spencer called Megen every night (when he was out of town on a case) to check on her. When he was home, he went with her to every appointment & nearly burst into tears when Megen had her first sonogram & he saw their baby on the screen moving around & hears the heart beat. They weren't able to tell what the sex of the baby was, but they didn't care. They just wanted to know that it would be a healthy baby & actually be born.

2 months go by,

Megen & the baby were doing well. She had started to show a bit too. (They still hadn't told anyone the news. They felt bad, but didn't want to jinx it & go through the heart wrenching pain that had happened once before.)

Spencer was freaked out when Megen told them their 'bunny' was being active & she put his hand on her stomach so he could feel the baby move. Megen would laugh at his expression every time the baby moved. (It was priceless!)

Every night he was home, Spencer would read aloud to the baby & Megen. (The baby calmed down most when he or she would hear 'daddy' speak) Megen wo8uld always fall asleep on his shoulder while he read. While she was asleep, Spencer would put his face down by Megen's stomach & softly talk to the baby softly about everything& nothing. He also gently put a hand on her stomach as he talked. Every so often, the baby would twitch as he spoke.
